Meeting Tomorrow -- BEAN TO CUP!!

EDIT: NO MEETING TONIGHT. Only one person can attend.
What do you think about having our meeting next Thursday night instead? Or is there another night that works so that Angela could come? Could everyone come on Wednesday night? Could you, Ange?

Hi everyone,
It's the last Thursday of the month again! How did that happen?!?! I called to confirm our use of the room at Talkin' Donkey and there was a mix-up. Someone else is booked in for our timeslot, so we'll go back to

Bean to Cup, 7pm, Thursday night, Feb 25.
Not sure if I can make it as husband is coming back tomorrow night from meetings away, so it'll depend on when he arrives home. I know others are planning to go though? Do you mind leaving a note here if you're planning to attend so others know they won't be the only ones? That way I"ll know that you know it's a different locale, too. Thanks!

Weapons of Mass Instruction

Just started reading John Taylor Gatto's book: Weapons of Mass Instruction. Brilliant writing and analysis.... Has anyone else read it? It is popular as I had to wait for 11 holds on it at the library.

p.s. I tried to post info on Oxygen Depletion in our atmosphere but it didn't seem to work!
